Commodore USA - more delays? You're kidding?

[foleyjo]

 Thirdly I find it all rather funny C=USA, I remember a lot of their supporters criticising A-eon / Hyperion for Pre-orders/Beta funds and pro-claim their company has never ask for a dime, well now they are, plus another delay a bit like another project, so less reason for them criticising us, and the fact they made a big deal about watching Amiga Inc web site for the announcement of their deal/partnership, and now I go on their web site they seem to be selling/promoting Icontain products more than C=USA's after all that talk of “we are Amiga inc now” its all great pop corn material and I'm just enjoying the ride while I wait for progress in areas of the Amiga world that really interest me.

Whats with all the US and THEM references?
It's like a Commodore/Amiga fan civil war. Can't people just accept that everyone against C=USA loves Commodore 64's and Amigas and everyone with C=USE loves Commodore 64s and Amigas but they want to show it in a different way.

It doesn't hurt anyone here if somebody wants their PC to look like a classic computer does it?

Franko I'm sure I have seen Kidding used in US films and TV shows. I can hear someone like Bruce Willis saying "U Godda be kiddin' me" in my head

I think the main problem is the mis-spelling of You're which changes kidding from a verb to a noun

It does when for about the past 8 months it's been force fed down yer throat that these were going to be the new official Commodore C64s & Amigas running Workbench, OS5 and the like and being told to like it or lump it by them..

All though I see the validity of your other points and how they can irritate I must say that most of the news and information about C= USA that I have read was by people complaining about them on here.

I bet nobody complaining on this thread has preordered or intends to preorder one of the new commodore shaped PC's so this delay does not affect us (the non ordering posters) in any way. Yet everyone is jumping into the thread, keeping it at the top and providing advertisements for C=USA.

My main point is let them get on with it. There's much worse going on in the world than some guys making a PC that looks like a commodore.



.....as it's good friday I am spreading peace and love

PS:what's so ruddy well good about this Friday, have you looked out the window... Can't see any more that 20 feet right now cos of all the fog/mist and it's bloody freezing, what happened to global warming... it's in reverse here right now... mumble, grumble, pah...

It's getting better as the day goes on. It must be heading north so you should be able to see soon.
It's more smoggy than foggy at the moment.

[foleyjo]

Ah... at last some good news in a CUSA thread...

Quite handy having you around, kinda like having me own personal weather forecaster, wish it would hurry up and get here though I keep waiting for a ghost ship to appear out of the fog and some mad glowing ghostly pirates to hack me head off again... :eek:

My forecast only works if the wind direction is north.

[foleyjo]

Sadly no I do not. I am the most northerly person I know.
I shall hang my head in shame for letting you down

The Commodore Wars 2011:

The Allies: Very expensive custom machines that look like PC's running real Amiga OS

The Dictators: Affordable PC's that look like a commodore with a false Amiga OS

both with promises of releases, both with annoying delays.

The Dream an affordable custom machine that looks like a commodore/amiga and runs real Amiga OS

Truth be told, they're "Indiana Jonesing" this whole thing. IOW: "making it up as they go..."

Put snakes all over the site and they might run away
